Celebrations are likely to run long into the night in Tullamore and beyond after Offaly's win over Tipperary
Celebrations have kicked off in Offaly after the county's U20 hurlers won the All-Ireland with a thumping 2-20 to 2-14 win over Tipperary in Nowlan Park, Kilkenny.
Manager Leo O'Connor was one of the first to react to the win as he spoke to the TG4 panel. He said the Offaly fans wouldn't want to leave the field but that celebrations would be "like Mardi Gras in Tullamore tonight."
The team is expected back in the town at some stage tonight. Leo paid tribute to his players after the impressive win which saw Adam Screeney score 0-12 and Dan Bourke earn the man of the match award with a towering display.
